Studio Costs
The cost of the studios will be £67.00 per m2 per year, not including service charges. This will cover ground rent, use of kitchen and Business Rates. The service charges will be for electricity and cover electricity consumed within each studio and the kitchen. A flat rate of £11/m2 of studio space will apply.
Art at the Centre is taking residence in the Borough Hall Queenborough, so that alongside more traditional uses of the main hall, a series of creative enterprises and artist studios will have temporary residence in order to maximise usage of the space. The aim is to provide five studio spaces for creative enterprises and artists, using movable studded walls to define the space. These studios would mostly inhabit the smaller two spaces in the Borough Hall, leaving the larger Hall space free for bookings and regular community use, as well as offering the opportunity for exhibitions and creative events. Art at the Centre aims to support artists to facilitate their collective presence, with a view to retaining the creative practitioners who ‘migrate’ to the capital, and thus developing the growing creative community in Swale. Studios/workspaces will extend the opportunities for local artists, to encourage new creative individuals and organisations to move to the Borough, to expand the “cultural offer” of the area and add vibrancy. The community will have the opportunity to see the showcase of products made by workspace practitioners, and artists will have an opportunity to market their works or services.

Nicole Mollett, lead artist at Art At The Centre, said “Artists work at their best when they share a creative space and can share ideas. If they feel encouraged to be creative then that place becomes a source of inspiration. That is what we hope to achieve through running the pilot studio scheme.” For those people who are interested in hiring a studio space please contact Nicole Mollett on nicolemollett@swale.gov.uk or phone 01795 417850.
